Have you noticed the people watching from the windows on the left? One seems to be a small child standing on the outside windowsill.

“The South Irish Horse was a Special Reserve cavalry regiment of the British Army. Formed as an Imperial Yeomanry regiment in 1902 as the South of Ireland Imperial Yeomanry, it perpetuated a unit formed during the Second Boer War. It transferred to the Special Reserve (Cavalry) in 1908 and was renamed as the South Irish Horse. Having taken part in the fighting of World War I, it was disbanded after Irish Independence in 1922.”

“taken in Russia?”
Sound unlikely

They do look very cold, unusual to see troops wearing scarves?

Russia seems very unlikely.

“On 12 June 1922 King George V received at Windsor Castle representatives of the six disbanded Irish regiments. While five had long and distinguished service records, the South Irish Horse (SIH) had only been raised in 1902, as a result of the second Boer War, but too late to take part.
On the outbreak of The Great War a single squadron of the SIH was sent to Flanders which was involved in the retreat from Mons and the Marne and the early battles of Ypres, Neuve Chapelle. The remainder of the Regiment followed and over the next four years, won ten battle honours including Loos 1915, Somme 1916 and 1918, Albert, St Quentin, Courtrai and finally France and Flanders 1915-1918. Losses were severe and there were many acts of gallantry.”

Perhaps it's a sign of the times, but none of them could be described as tall. Maybe as they are wrapped up in layers of heavy clothing they appear as shorter?

Humphhh! If Research Mary had just gone on two images to #24 we would have had several dogs! Very bad form!!!

Boo hoo! I am getting "403 Forbidden" pages for the NLI website (again!).

I see a shamrock on the door of the bottom left car (Ford Model T ? ).

There are dogs here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OZfg5w6aRM

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Humphhh! If only Morning Mary could get over her canine obsession! ;)

I wonder if after the war(s) these locations have been reduced to rubble.

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY Was wondering the same thing.
